Résumé

Graveyards are the calmest places on Earth – for the living and the dead. The Besiers cemetery is no exception. Until the keeper finds a young man digging up the grave of a recently deceased woman. He immediately calls the police. This chilling short story follows the young man as he attempts to explain his actions, avoid prison, and tell his story. Will anybody believe him?Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a French writer. Famed for being a master of the short story, he also wrote travel books and occasionally dabbled in poetry. His stories mainly focus on the relationships between men and women sitting at crossroads in their lives - whether personal or professional. His dramatic flair is largely influenced by French novelist Gustave Flaubert and is perfect for fans of Anton Chekhov's short stories. The most notable of the 300 short stories that he wrote include 'Bel Ami', 'Une Vie', and 'The Dumpling'.

Auteur

Guy de Maupassant (auteur)

Écrivain fécond, disciple de Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant est l'auteur de contes, de nouvelles et de romans. Observateur privilégié de la paysannerie normande, de ses malices et de sa dureté, l’écrivain élargit son domaine à la société moderne tout entière, vue à travers la vie médiocre de la petite bourgeoisie des villes, mais aussi le vice qui triomphe dans les classes élevées. Le déclin de sa santé mentale, avant même l’âge de trente ans, le porte à s’intéresser aux thèmes de l'angoisse et de la folie.
